html/whitespace cleanup feature

[ElKlaaso]

Hi,

Im not sure if this is the right place, but it would be a good feature
for coldbox, if you could specify in the coldbox.xml.cfm the following
things:

parameters for <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"
suppresswhitespace="true"> tag,
so coldbox automatically wraps all layout+views in this tag.

maybe an optional cleanhtml / removewhitespace setting, which used a
method like this to clean layout+view:

<cfscript>
/**
* Replaces a huge amount of unnecessary whitespace from your HTML
code.
*
* @param sInput HTML you wish to compress. (Required)
* @return Returns a string.
* @author Jordan Clark (Jorda...@Telus.net)
* @version 1, November 19, 2002
*/
function HtmlCompressFormat(sInput)
{
var level = 2;
if( arrayLen( arguments ) GTE 2 AND isNumeric(arguments[2]))
{
level = arguments[2];
}
// just take off the useless stuff
sInput = trim(sInput);
switch(level)
{
case "3":
{
// extra compression can screw up a few little pieces of HTML, doh
sInput = reReplace( sInput, "[[:space:]]{2,}", " ", "all" );
sInput = replace( sInput, "> <", "><", "all" );
sInput = reReplace( sInput, "<!--[^>]+>", "", "all" );
break;
}
case "2":
{
sInput = reReplace( sInput, "[[:space:]]{2,}", chr( 13 ), "all" );
break;
}
case "1":
{
// only compresses after a line break
sInput = reReplace( sInput, "(" & chr( 10 ) & "|" & chr( 13 ) & ")+
[[:space:]]{2,}", chr( 13 ), "all" );
break;
}
}
return sInput;
}
</cfscript>


Is this a good idea? Should i submit this idea somewhere else?

White space issue been fixed by Luis, if you are interested then try
to get latest code-base from SVN.

Like your idea but what will happend when users have textarea with
fckeditor ... ?

Thanks

Im not sure how that editor works, but text within a textarea can be
skipped ofcourse..

Sana is right, just grap the latest version from SVN.

Was there a whitespace problem with coldbox-native methods? Im not
sure im talking about that, was more talking about removing whitespace
anywhere, also in my code for example.

[Ernst van der Linden]

White space management works excellent in ColdBox.
You could use it for your views maybe.

@Klaas-Jan Winkel

I got your point, your example could be a nice addition.

Can you put together things in a new coldbox plugin.

Sana

Interesting,

ColdBox 2.6.2 has update the preRender interception point to actually receive the content to be rendered. Look here: http://ortus.svnrepository.com/coldbox/trac.cgi/wiki/cbWhatsNew2.62#PrerenderInterceptorReceivescontenttorender

So basically, you can just create an interceptor that executes at preRender and cleans your html to be rendered.  If you do, please contribute it to the code depot.

I am not sure what removes the line breaks from the layouts in ColdBox, but it can causes issues with single-line javascript comments. Chrome gives an "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input". Unless you view the source code, or experiment commenting code out it can be difficult to pin-point the cause; the error message is not very helpful.

Hi,

Try to save file as UTF-8 mode. It will display extended character or it will fix the non-uni character.

Thanks
Sana
